Get notified when packages are built

A new feature has been added. FreshPorts already tracks package built by the FreeBSD project. This information is displayed on each port page. You can now get an email when FreshPorts notices a new package is available for something on one of your watch lists. However, you must opt into that. Click on Report Subscriptions on the right, and New Package Notification box, and click on Update.

Finally, under Watch Lists, click on ABI Package Subscriptions to select your ABI (e.g. FreeBSD:14:amd64) & package set (latest/quarterly) combination for a given watch list. This is what FreshPorts will look for.

Description:
VMware tools support FreeBSD _guest_ OS running on VMware Workstation. Beware, this port is _not_ for FreeBSD _host_ OS. VMware tools for FreeBSD consist of vmware-toolbox which supports seamless operation between the Host and the Guest OS and dual-boot configulation files. However, we cannot install dual-boot configuration since it requires to modify /etc files. This ports will install vmware-toolbox to your computer. You may use 'vmware' driver for X server. Vmware-guestd is installed as a separate port, ports/emulators/vmware-guestd6, but this port install guestd automatically. This port assumes that a) users want only "must-have" binaries and b) guest OS runs on a certain architecture and never be changed. For those want full-feature of VMware Tools, use the installer bundled with VMware Tools instead. WWW: http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/

More fix on X modules.

The X server modules (display driver and mouse driver) bundled with
VMware Tools doesn't work with X.Org 7.2 server.  So install these
modules if and only if X is actually XFree86 4.x.

Also fix pkg-plist (sorry the last commit makes plist broken.)

Bump vmware-tools6 PORTREVISION to note the changes above.

For X.Org 7.2 users:
        x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware is the video driver for VMs, that
        is installed by default.

        x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse is the mouse driver for VMs.
        However, it doesn't need if vmware-toolbox runs.

Introducing VMware Tools for VMware Workstation 6 beta 3.

As usual, all three ports are updated after repocoping from
version 5 ports (this is why this ports is 'committed,' not 'imported.')

Note to 7-current users: vmware-guestd and other binaries requires
libc.so.6 to work.  Since there is no misc/compat6x yet, this ports
is marked as 'IGNORE' if there is no libc.so.6.
